Today we were able to thank a very special Grandmother! Erin's Grandmother, Mrs. Sakolosky, has donated her Thursday mornings to help develop us as readers. We loved having her join our morning. We thanked her with hand written cookie notes and a special cookie jar ( that Erin think her Grandaddy will eat).

Speaking of Grandparents...Mr. Johnson and I welcomed a beautiful baby grandson to our family late Thursday. Our oldest son and his wife welcomed little Walker. It's easy to say, it was LOVE at first sight.

We have been integrating our learning... A month ago we learned in reading how to ask good questions and what it means to "research". We used our trip to the zoo to pick and animal to measure (putting math into action) and learn more from a field visit. In reading and writing time we have used all kinds of resources to find information about our animal's habitat, eating habits, interesting facts, and their appearance. Students used math time to recreate their measurements from the zoo. Finally we are putting all the pieces together by using the "Show Me" App on the iPads to film our report. Here are a few. I will post more as they are complete. I hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed making them!

About Me

I am lucky to have the best job(s) in the world. My most important role is mother of 3 wonderful kids (Josh, Jourdan, and Addie). In addition to being a mom, I teach 1st grade in the same district where we live. Needless to say, this is home! First grade gives me a great chance to see children really grow. I was lucky to live in the same house my entire childhood, and love that my husband and I have been able provide that for our family!
